  • Patent number: 9474206
    Abstract: A chassis augmentation assembly for, and an agricultural vehicle with, a chassis having a main frame supporting front and rear axles has longitudinally spaced chassis mounts attached to the vehicle and a beam assembly having at least one structural beam segment vertically spaced from the main frame. The beam assembly has longitudinally spaced ends coupled to the vehicle chassis via the chassis mounts. The beam assembly is configured to transfer longitudinal forces between the chassis mounts through the one or more structural beam segments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 4, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2016
    Assignee: Deere & Company

  • Patent number: 8844251
    Abstract: A cotton accumulator system for a cotton harvester. The cotton accumulator system includes a cotton storage structure having an upper inlet and a lower outlet. A paddle shaft is coupleable to the cotton storage structure and configured to rotate about an axis. A plurality of paddles is coupleable to the paddle shaft. The plurality of paddles is configured to rotate with the paddle shaft to disperse cotton substantially evenly in the cotton storage structure.

  • Patent number: 7980500
    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting up biological sample material, including a sample container, a rotary drive device separate from the sample container, and a shaft rotatably arranged in the sample container, wherein the shaft has a laterally projecting cutting device in the region of a working end and has a coupling piece in the region of a coupling end, said coupling piece being accessible from outside and being designed for coupling engagement with a coupling counterpart of the rotary drive device, wherein the shaft (14) is arranged with lateral guidance and in an axially displaceable manner in the sample container (10), the coupling piece (19) and the coupling counterpart (21) are designed for producing coupling engagement which is positive-locking in the direction of rotation (23) and permits an axial displacement, and the cutting device (16) is designed in a propeller shape in such a way that, during rotation of the shaft (14) in the working direction, it exerts a propulsive force on the latter in the direction
